Now that is too too cool! At first glance I was really wondering if it was even possible for it to be an orchid, but it is! Looks like some wierd alien crop circle pattern. Any close up pics of the blooms?

So Dana...I took our conversation from this morning a little further and found the answer to my question about it's leaf color. Take a look at the "Plant" link on Jay's site: IOSPE PHOTOS

I'm moving my terete Cleisostoma into brighter light than it's in now, which means outside the screenroom! Hoping that gets it to bloom

You know if I had seen that up for sale, you and I would have been bidding against each other without knowing it!

God Dana, I thought you had a handful of snakes!
Sent shivers up my spine until I looked closer!
That's a weird one alright! Will have to be on the look out for it!
